Yep it's me. It's an old Phoenix Ale beermat.

It was brewed in Cherry's in Waterford at one stage and was hugely popular.. "a large bottle of Phoeeeenix off the shelf, boy".

There are a lot of related photographs in the library in Waterford City.

I can't remember if it's the same Phoenix as was around Dublin, I think it was.

I think I had a few large bottles in the Cleaboy one night, were they a kind of a fat bottle with a short neck?

I don't remember to be honest, it's been 15 years since I drank a bottle of Phoenix.

My Dad's cousin disappeared while serving in the Congo. I'll bet a couple of crates of that beer disappeared with him.

I remember it being in the standard 1 pint bottle, like Bulmers or Smithwicks. I also remember concluding that it was rebadged smithwicks. So young, yet so cynical.
